Product Description

This extraordinary true narrative of Heinrich Harrer’s journey across the Himalayas to Tibet, set against the backdrop of WWII, is a watershed moment in travel writing. Heinrich Harrer, already regarded as one of history’s finest mountaineers, was climbing in the Himalayas when war broke out in Europe. He was imprisoned by the British in India but managed to escape and go to Tibet. Heinrich Harrer settled in Lhasa, the Forbidden City, where he became a companion and tutor to the Dalai Lama. He spent seven years learning more about Tibet and the Tibetans than any Westerner before him. Seven Years in Tibet, which was recently adapted into a film starring Brad Pitt, is a breathtaking account of incredible fortitude and self-reliance written by one of the twentieth century’s greatest travel writers.
